I don’t see how that would matter, the US still has better claims to the Typhoon then GB has towards the F-117 regardless.

Not even remotely comparable to the AJ. Japan had no similar airframe at top tier at the time, and desperately needed one to fill a hole in their tech tree. It was added as an emergency stop gap.
Britain definitely isn’t in dire need of a comically niche bomber.
(I don’t care if Britain gets one or not, as I enjoy as many nations having a vehicle as possible, I just think your example is poor.)

Well does the US have 5 sets of its’s own fighters with variants ?
So why do they need a typhoon on top of that
If someone has them they need releasing. Until them it remains just a British Pilot in a US plane with nothing official to say it was anything more than a joyride offer from an ally.
Was nothing learned from the Swedish/Russian Tank/ Helo evaluation fiasco?
We could ask the same thing for you. Why would you want/need the F-117 that you had nothing to do with when you already way better options?
Seems more like a want than a need or should.
Then list them !
How?
The US was never oprerated the Typhoon, in fact they tried to kill the program repeatedly
Britain was offered the F-117 and did consider purchasing it, ultimately deciding it was inferior to the Torando.
I know US aircraft are inferior to the Typhoon, but making up claims to try and get a Typhoon is just funny. Its a bit like the thread that appeared after the Gripen C was added, asking for Brazilian Gripen Es to be added to the US TT because Brazil is in South America

Buccaneer, Tornado, Jaguar, F-111C and Harrier Gr.7
You know what all of these have in common? They serve the same role as the F-117 would in game, but do it much much much better.
That’s a very apples to oranges comparison.
GB got the MiG 21 because Gaijin decided that India should be a British sub tree for whatever reason. It is not because GB evaluated the MiG 21. If the US were a subtree of the UK, you would have a point, but they have their own tree, so it wouldn’t make sense for GB to get any US aircraft that they, or their subtrees, never used.
Ah yes bomb busses who easily get sniped by Russian AA
Where the F-117 doesn’t even show up because guess what it’s stealth !
Most of them are much better against the 2S6 and Pantsir than the F-117 will ever hope to be lmao.
Anyone who has played high tier to some extend will realize that lol.
“Muh stealth” is only useful in ground in your imagination.
as soon as it opens its bomb doors the Pantsir will see it. The F117 is a gimmick. A cool one at that.
And then again, just bc its stealth doesnt mean its undetectable. Its only hard to see up to a certain range.

South Korea and Japan are also not connected militarily and have only in common the use of US military vehicles.
Adding SK sub TT to Japan is also “destructive” enough.
Japanese TT needs something more?
You go to JSDF and ask them to produce more vehicles.

GB has plenty of CAS options, why do they need a F-117? Because of how War Thunder works, it’s going to be a gimmick at most.

So if it’s a gimmick then it’s alright if it doesn’t come into the game at all then or just be an event : P
In what way? When EFT started to its service life F-15 was already using AESA radar and had similiar flight performance, F-16’s also recieved their AESA radars way earlier than Typhoons while having similiar capabilites, as for the cherry on top F-22 Raptor is superior to any Typhoon, only thing Typhoon has over Us planes is the Meteor missile.
I know you like to Phrase British Jets and Typhoons but EFT isnt something uber super, especially against Raptor.

Not to mention that it’s a big triangular subsonic brick.
I don’t know if deathmisser has played any high tier SPAA, but you can just manually guide your SAM missiles to a target with the non IR missile AA.
And hitting a target that size and that slow is easy as hell.
If it weren’t for the leaks, I’d honestly agree, but they’ve been right so far, so chances are good for a squadron F-117 for the US.
I don’t play top tier
